Vyaksha R - Tutor in Midrand

I am a recent graduate from the university of the Witwatersrand who majored in German and psychology during my undergrad career. I completed an honors degree in German. I have a passion for languages and enjoy literature of all genres, types and time periods. During my Honors degree, i worked as a tutor for students studying their first and second year of German at the University of the Witwatersrand. in addition to this, i would often hold private tutorial classes for students. i absolutely loved conducting lessons and i pride myself on building a solid, trusting relationship with students. I am confident, self-assured and always eager to improve myself and the lives of others. For this reason, i believe i would be an excellent private tutor. I believe that by creating a solid foundation in both your relationship with a student and the work which is being taught, the student's achievements will be limitless! What i aim to achieve from being a private tutor would be to improve the lives of students and remove the barriers which prevent them from furthering their knowledge and education whilst still doing what i enjoy most; teaching.

Subjects taught
  • English

    During my undergraduate degree, i completed two years of English literature studies at the university of the Witwatersrand which i found to be thoroughly enjoyable. In addition to this, i majored in German language and literature which exposed me to literature at different depths and characteristics which i found to be incredibly fascinating and beautiful. Furthermore, my postgraduate German Degree also encompassed courses of English literature which broadened my knowledge of literature through different genres, types and time periods. I do believe that this experience with languages along with my natural love and passion for the subject would make me the best possible tutor.
